Narrator: 4.5 Stars
Story: 4.5- 5 Stars
Overall: 4.75-5 Stars
My epic green bone journey has officially come to a close and I'm left feeling... I don't know.
Did I love this book? Yes, but trying to put my thoughts into words is proving difficult.
Was this how I expected Jade Legacy to play out? Kind of. I mean, what else can you expect after the gigantic whirlwind of Jade War? It has Legacy written in the title.
Did I expect the long drawn-out war pages, with excessive amounts of politics involved? Also kind of.
What I didn't expect was the pace in which this story was written. It followed the path of more characters than the other stories which I appreciated and loved, however, I found certain chapters bogged down with unnecessary war topics that didn't have as much of an impact overall as the story suggested.
The faster-paced, action scenes and inner clan matters were more engulfing and entertaining. Those moments tugged at me as a reader and kept me hungry for more.
In conclusion, I still feel Jade Legacy and the Green Bone Saga as a whole is an amazing series and I highly recommend it for readers who want an in-depth reading experience. This book does tie everything together beautifully and will remain on my bookshelf for the foreseeable future when I am ready to pick it up again for a re-read.
